submissions for issue 1 are OPEN

give us your femininity. your masculinity. burn the death and the feminine for the whole world to see. we want your freaky, your crypt-ic, your beautiful, your horrific. if there are no teeth to your work, then we want flesh. dangerous and tender.

the opheliac is an online lit mag for underrepresented groups. submit if you are a person of color, lgbtqia+, or a woman.

we accept poetry, flash fiction, found poetry (with credit to original text), visual art, and pieces that cannot otherwise be defined. currently, we are not looking for short stories or review pieces.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT PIECES WITH HOMOPHOBIA, TRANSPHOBIA, RACISM, SEXISM, OR OTHERWISE PREJUDICED AND HATEFUL CONTENT. the opheliac is a safe space for marginalized authors and artists. your name and email will be blacklisted.

all submissions should have the subject line “SUBMISSION: 3 PIECES.” please attach a .docx or a .pdf file to editor@opheliac.online with a cover letter telling us a little about your work, a short bio with pronouns, and a website or twitter handle. send up to 3 pieces (double-spaced, times new roman, 12 pt) with appropriate content warnings included.

the opheliac accepts simultaneous submissions, but please send unpublished work only. be sure to let us know if your work has been accepted elsewhere so we can celebrate!

please submit once per issue. if your submission does not follow these guidelines, your work will be inadmissible.

at this time, the opheliac is unable to pay contributors.

if you have any questions, concerns, ideas, volunteer resumes, cool songs, etc., please send queries to editor@opheliac.online.
